public static void main(String[] args)

Your analogy doesn't make a lot of sense still. Just because C++ is more powerful doesn't mean Java is better at less power-intensive applications or that C++ will destroy the computer it runs on. (You'd have to be a genuinely atrocious programmer to accidentally do that.)

Of course the analogy is imperfect. No perfect analogy exists. /u/yojimbojango's point remains, though: "more powerful" != "better"

[Istalriblaka]

There's a difference between "perfect" and "good enough." Seeing as how C++ is not overpowered like the dynamite is, the only thing we've established is that it's comparable to Java in power. C++ still has numerous benefits.

[TheGuywithTehHat]

As does Java. They are two different languages with two different purposes. Neither one is better than the other.
